The Wonders Of the Canadian West

This fun-filled 12-day program highlights the diverse cultures, landscapes, and activities that Western Canada is celebrated for. From the Pacific Ocean and Coastal Rainforests to the magnificent peaks and glaciers of the Rocky Mountains, let us introduce you to The Wonders of the Canadian West!

Get up close and personal with gray whales and wolves in their natural habitat. Stay in a tipi or a traditional Pit House as you study First Nations' culture at Camp Acxualawx.

You’ll track killer whales with naturalists, hike a mammoth glacier alongside scientists, and make your own obsidian arrowhead with guidance from an archeologist.

Enjoy dinner on a mountain peak overlooking the crest of the Rocky Mountains, visit the world-renowned Empress Hotel in Victoria for ‘High Tea’, or take a sip of glacier water as you stand on its source. The diversity of experiences offered on this program is remarkable.

Get your hands dirty by doing some archaeology, palaeontology or geology in the field. You'll be surprised how much fun you can have learning!
